Anyone able to get in place editing with tinyMCE working.

I have tried to implement this: [http://inplacericheditor.box.re/](http://inplacericheditor.box.re/)

Everything seems to be working, except when the tinyMCE editor loads,  
it ignores the current markup.

For example:

I have 2 paragraphs in p tags and 1 unordered list.

When I click the highlighted area, the tinyMCE editor loads, but all  
the text is on one line. If I click the html button if the advanced  
editor, it shows that all the content is wrapped in 1 p tag.

Any ideas???

The ‘loadTextURL’ option for Ajax.InPlaceEditor  
[http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/ajax-inplaceeditor](http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/ajax-inplaceeditor)  
is for that kind of problem. I haven’t checked whether it works with  
tinyMCE. However, reading the implimentation for  
the ‘loadTextURL’ option will help probably.
